ENERGY LIMITERS

Exactly what is a floodgate controller or energy limiter? They are elec- trical resistors that work like valves so that only a certain amount of electric power can flow through them and no more.

Energy Limiters are useful on the feed wire of parts of fence systems that are easily "shorted" but do not have to feed electricity to main branches of the system, like floodgates, bottom wires, and offset wires on old fences. When these are shorted, they will not take all the power from the rest of the system because only a smaller amount can get through the limiter.

Energy Limiters are also useful for shorter lengths of horse fence that are not subject to much vegetation load. The shock will be less severe or kept at a lower level so that horses may be less startled and less frightened than might otherwise be the case.
